Mounting and Optional Accessories
Understanding Mounting
Hunter’s patented mounting system provides you maximum
installation exibility and ease. You can install your Hunter fan in
one of two ways, depending on your preference: Standard or Angle
mounting. e steps in this manual include instructions for both
mounting methods.
Considering Optional Accessories
Consider using Hunter’s optional accessories, including a wall-mounted
or remote speed control. To install and use the accessories, follow
the instructions included with each product. For quiet and optimum
performance of your Hunter fan, use only Hunter speed controls.
Standard Mounting hangs from
the ceiling by a downrod (included),
recommended for ceilings 8 feet or higher
Angle Mounting recommended for a
vaulted or angled ceiling
For ceilings higher than 8 feet, you
can purchase Hunter extension
downrods. All Hunter fans use sturdy
3/4” diameter pipe to assure stability
and wobble-free performance.

To install a ceiling fan, be sure you can do the following:
• Locate the ceiling joist or other suitable support in ceiling.
• Drill holes for and install wood screws.

You will need the following tools for installing the fan:
• Electric drill with 9/64” bit
• Standard screwdriver
• Phillips-head screwdriver
• Wrench or pliers
Checking Your Fan Parts
Carefully unpack your fan to avoid damage to the fan parts. Check
for any shipping damage to the motor or fan blades. If one of the fan
blades was damaged in shipment, return all the blades for replacement.
If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your Hunter dealer or call
Hunter Parts Department at 888-830-1326 (In Canada, call 1-866-268-
1936).
Preparing the Fan Site
Before you begin installing the fan, follow all the instructions in
the pullout sheet called “Preparing the Fan Site.” Proper ceiling fan
location and attachment to the building structure are essential for
safety, reliable operation, maximum eciency, and energy savings.
1 • Getting Ready
Installing Multiple Fans?
If you are installing more than
one fan, keep the fan blades in
sets, as they were shipped.

2-1. Drill two pilot holes into the wood support structure through the
outermost holes in the outlet box. e pilot holes should be 9/64”
in diameter.
2-2. Your fan comes with four neoprene noise isolators (“Isolators”).
Position the isolators between the ceiling plate and ceiling by
inserting the raised areas on each isolator into the holes in the
ceiling plate.
2-3. read the lead wires from the outlet box down through the hole
in the middle of the ceiling plate.
2-4. Align the slotted holes in the ceiling plate with the pilot holes you
drilled in the wood support structure. For proper alignment use
slotted holes directly across from each other.
Note: e isolators should be ush against the ceiling.
2-5. Place a at washer on each of the two 3” screws and pass the
screws through the slotted holes in the ceiling plate into the pilot
holes you drilled.
Tighten the screws into the 9/64” pilot holes; do not use lubricants
on the screws. Do not over tighten.

Hunter fans use several styles of fan blade irons
(brackets that hold the blade to the fan).
6-1. Your fan may include blade grommets. If your fan has grommets,
insert them by hand into the holes on the blades.

screws. If you used grommets, the blades may appear slightly loose
after screws are tightened. is is normal.
6-3. Remove the blade mounting screws and rubber shipping bumpers
from the motor.
6-4. For each blade, insert one blade mounting screw through the
blade iron, and attach lightly to the fan. Insert the second blade
mounting screw, then securely tighten both mounting screws.

Setting the Dip Switches
You will only have to change the dip switch settings in the remote if you are using more than
one remote controlled fan in the same area and want to control them separately. You may
want to label your remotes to ensure you do not mix them up.
1. At the circuit breaker or fuse box, turn the power o for the fan you want to change. Do
not turn the power o at the circuit breaker for the previously installed fan, as you may
inadvertently change the dip switch code settings for it as well.
2. Slide the cover o the back of the remote and remove the battery. e battery must be
removed when changing dip switch settings. Refer to Step 8-1.
3. Change the dip switch settings, so that they are dierent from the previously installed fan.
4. Replace the battery and cover.
5. At the circuit breaker or fuse box, turn the power back on for the fan whose settings you
are changing.
6. Within 20 seconds of restoring power, push the 3 (high), 2 (medium), and 1 (low) buttons
(in that order) on the remote.
Note: e receiver (built into the fan) has a memory function that retains the last dip
switch code setting. e setting will not change in the event of power failure or if the
power to the fan is inadvertently shut o.

9 • Operating and Cleaning Your Ceiling Fan
9-1. Turn on electrical power to the fan. e rst time you turn the fan
on, push the 3 (high), 2 (medium), and 1 (low) buttons (in that
order) on the remote to send the code to the receiver. e receiver
(built into the fan) has a memory function that retains the dip
switch code setting. is setting will not change in the event of
power failure or if the power to the fan is inadvertently shut o.
9-2. To start the fan, press the speed button on the remote at the level
you desire: 3 for high, 2 for medium, 1 for low. To turn o the fan,
press the o button on the remote.
9-3. You can control the uplight and downlight using separate buttons
on the remote. To turn the light on or o independently from
the fan, press the appropriate light button once for gradual o or
twice for instant o.
With the Auto Resume feature, the light will come on at the level
you used last. You can also hold the light button down to use the
remote as a dimmer. (As you hold the button, the light level will
move throughout its entire range within 16 seconds.) Release the
button at the desired level.
9-4. Ceiling fans work best by blowing air downward (counterclockwise
blade rotation) in warm weather to cool the room with a direct
breeze. In winter, having the fan draw air upward (clockwise blade
rotation) will distribute the warmer air trapped at the ceiling
around the room without causing a draft.
To Change Airflow Direction
Press the reversing switch on the remote
while the fan is running.
In warm weather, use

9-5. For cleaning nishes, use a soft brush or lint-free cloth to prevent
scratching. A vacuum cleaner brush nozzle can remove heavier
dust. Remove surface smudges or accumulated dirt and dust using
a mild detergent and a slightly dampened cloth. You may use
an artistic agent, but never abrasive cleaning agents, as they will
damage the nish.
9-6. Clean wood nish blades with a furniture polishing cloth.
Occasionally, apply a light coat of furniture polish for added
protection and beauty. Clean painted and high-gloss blades in the
same manner as the fan nish.
In cold weather, use upward
